Playing out is very different to playing at home in a lot of aspects (depending on venue). You will also find that your opinion of the local DJs will change and you will start to realise why a lot of guys are where they are and indeed actually recognise that some are better than you gave them credit for. The other rude awakening you might experience is that your perception of music choice and what works on the dance floor will change quite considerably as it's not always the most obvious tracks that actually rock the place. Reading the crowd will also be a new experience. Don't be shy either they can't tie you to a pole and stone you to death. Enjoy the experience and don't be upset with anything that happens, as it's all part of learning. You will be surprised how supportive a lot of punters can be, and ignore what the bedroom DJs say because a large amount of them have never played on a big system. Enjoy it and learn. Cheers Nem

This nearly brought me to tears man. I can relate to ALL of that so well! Perfection in a post.
